Help with knee pain "attacks"?

happened to me. in my case, it was a torn meniscus. the only person who diagnosed the problem immediately was my orthopedic surgeon. there area lot of reasons for knee pain. none of them is good. you need a consult asap. my knee got so painful, i was forced to use crutches for almost two months before i could get remedial surgery to remove loose meniscal tissue. avoid this scenario. i,m arthritic. your problem may be something completely different. if it clicks; there,s a problem.
